Another object is to provide a standard, several of which may he used depending upon the size 01 the package to he carried, adaptable to be clamped to the running board and having a, strap and on etljusteble eye adopted to 0ccupy various positions es may he required by the size of the article to be secured thereto. A fu fther object of the invention is to provide standard adopted to be detachably secured to the running board of a vehicle, and heving' an upright or vertical arm for ning snppoet for e no and to which it is secured by a strap of leather or Webbing passing thi'ough eye Slitlitble longi nelly of the hoiicon'tel portion of the bodyv These severel objects anal novei features of the invention ere hereineiterniore fully clcscribed and claimed and shown in the ee conipenying drawings in which Figure 1 is e side elef/ution of my in1- proved manage carrier showing at package secured thereon.

As shown in Fig. 1 the carrier consists of at body member 1, Lsheped in cross section as shown in Fig. 4, having the upper and lower flanges 2 3 extending on opposite id the, loony shown. The body is pr'e c .015! formed. of cast aluminum but may he formed of any n'mterlel either custor forged may he desired. The body has 2!. terminal portion bent parallel. with the body 1 substantially in the form of u U, and the end thereof iscprovidecl with e threaded point 10 to allow .1

The flange of the hotly n l c on the upper side thereof, shown J 1, terminates short of: the eye 8) le space 19 of e thickness equal to the thic of the body 1 between flanges.

There is a movable eye 11 shown (ieteil in Fig. notched on one sicle es indicated to engage over the flanges 2 of the and the (listunce between the points 1 1: which form the undercut portions oi the go not-ch E2) is sli 'htly greater then the ness of the bGCljJ' l.

In use two of the stenclerils are us, required to secure an article in piece greater number may he used as cle to be carried, untl eguzhstuiul plicutc the standard herein From the foregoing description it is en that ti Stfllliiillffl is v *r simple mil inc pensive in form; is readily z-nyplieel to or moved from a vehicle, and that an article may be very quickly and securely held in place by simply passing the strap through the running eye 11 which practically automatically positions itself on the body as is required by the size of the article.

Having thus briefly described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A package carrier for use on a running board of a vehicle comprising a standard, I shaped in-cross section and having an eyed terminal portion extending at an angle to the body, the opposite end of the body being turned substantially parallel therewith in the form of a U spaced from the body to fit the running board of an automobile, a binding screw for securing the standard to the running board, the upper flange of the said body narrowing as it approaches the terminal eye of the angular portion and tenni nating short thereof, an eye having a notch in one side adapted to engage over the said upper flange; being insertible thereon at the said eyed end of the body and beingfreely movable longitudinally of the body, and a strap secured to the said eyed end of the body adapted to be passed through the, movable e e.

2. 1i ackage carrier for the running board of a vehicle comprising a member I shaped in cross section having one end thereof return bent to form a l] to lit the runnin board, the opposite end being bent at a rig t angle to the body on the side opposite the saidreturn bent end providing an arm positioned at the inner side of the running board the said arm terminating in an eye and the flange on the upper side of the body extending along the forward side of the said arm and terminating short of the movable longitudinally thereof, and a strap secured to the said eyed end of the body and adapted to be passed through the movable eye.

3. A- package carrier for the running board ofa vehicle comprising a member I shaped in cross section providing oppositely disposed flanges on the upper and lower sides respectively thereof, the said member being bent at one end to form a U terminating in a threaded eye, the flange on the inside of the U fitting the running board of the'vehicle, a binding screw in said threaded eye for securing the member to the running board, the opposite end of the said member being bent at a right angle to the body on the side opposite the U and terminating in an eyed portion, the flange on the upper side of the-body extendingupward on the forward side of said eyed end and tapering to a Width substantially equal to the web of said member and terminating short of the eye, the said terminal eye being oflset relative to the tapered flange, and a second eye having a notch on one side of a character to enable the same to be inserted over the flange at the tapered end and being freely movable longitudlnally of the body on the said flange.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification.
